- Description
- The diary of Lily Sergueiew (1912-1950) chronicles her months-long journey to becoming a double agent for the British under the code name ‘Treasure’. From the moment she conceived the idea of becoming a double agent, she faced challenges on two fronts: first, she had to convince the Germans to ask her to spy for them, second, she needed the British to believe her story. Only then could she begin the work of helping free her homeland (France) from the German occupier.
